Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, "FAITH WAS CREDITED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."

How then was it credited? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised;

NAS 11
and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them,

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.

and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.

NAS 13
For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.
NIV 13
It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
NAS 14
For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified;
NIV 14
For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless,
NAS 15
for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no violation.
NIV 15
because law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.
NAS 16
For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

(as it is written, "A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS HAVE I MADE YOU") in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.
NIV 17
As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed--the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.
NAS 18
In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, "SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE."
NIV 18
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
NAS 19
Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb;
NIV 19
Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead--since he was about a hundred years old--and that Sarah's womb was also dead.
NAS 20
yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God,
NIV 20
Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
NAS 21
and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.
NIV 21
being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
NAS 22
Therefore IT WAS ALSO CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
NIV 22
This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness."
NAS 23
Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him,
NIV 23
The words "it was credited to him" were written not for him alone,
NAS 24
but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
NIV 24
but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness--for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
NAS 25
He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.
NIV 25
He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
